Of course, in its pursuit of the Best Workplaces for Commuters District
designation, the Perimeter had a great role model.

CH2MHILL succeeded years ago in becoming a leader in the Perimeter area with
the implementation and integration of alternative transportation programs
and principles into their corporate culture. With approximately 250
employees at their Perimeter location, roughly 50% get to work without
driving alone. Their Alternative Transportation Program was kicked off over
four years ago with ridesharing promotion and smog alerts. Teleworking,
flex time and compressed work schedules are strongly encouraged when job
responsibilities allow. CH2MHILL also offers its employees discounted
transit, the Guaranteed Ride Home Program, preferred parking for carpoolers
as well as bike racks, showers, and lockers for cycling commuters.

Additionally, George Howroyd, a principal with CH2MHILL, has been on the
Board of the PTC for the past four years and has worked with the PTC and his
colleagues to promote alternative transportation to the entire Perimeter
business district. In June of 2001, CH2MHILL agreed to be the region’s
first company to participate in the Commuter Rewards Program. Their program
was so successful that the PTC has gone on to launch the program at 11 other
companies in the area and the Clean Air Campaign is launching the program
regionally by year’s end.

Because of their participation in alternative transportation programs,
CH2MHILL met the requirements to become one of approximately 250 national
employers affiliated with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S.
Department of Transportation’s as a Best Workplaces for Commuters Company in
2002.
